WILLIAM GEGRGE TRAUTVETTER, OF PATERSON, NEW JERSEY.

WOVEN FABRIC.

Application filed December 27,1910.

Z'o oli ifi/om 'it 'may concern:

lie it known that l, lViLLrAu Gronau l`n.\.i"i"fi:'irien, a citizen of the United States.` and a` resident ot' Paterson, in the county ol' iassaic and State ot New Jersey. have invent-ed a new and lminojfed 'Woven lfabnic, ot' which the. following a full, clear. and exact description.

'l'he object of the invention is to provide a new and improved .woven fabric, having` interwoven bias or diagonal threads to rein- .torce the fabric and render the same exceedingly strongr and durable and capable to withstand strains in any direction.

` ln .order to iproduce the desired result the fabric is formed of interwoven ground warp threads. bias warp threads and Wet't threads, of which tl'ie bias Warp threads eX- teud diagonali across the fabric lfrom one selvage to the other.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings `forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters ot reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure l is an enlarged plan view of the bias wdven fabric; Fig. 2 is a cross section of the saine on the line 2-2 of Fig. l; Fig.

3 il a perspective view of the same; and Fig.

-l is a diagrammatic View of the same.

The woven fabrie presently to be described in detail is preferably woven on a leoni. such as shown and described in the application No. 599,270 tor Letterslatent of the United States, filed under even date herewith. The woven fabric, asillustrated in the drawings, consists essentially of regular or ground warp threads bias or diagonal warp threads B, B arranged in isets, and wett threads C. The ground warp threads A. are arranged.,lengthwise of the tabric. parallel one to the other, and the sets of bias or diagonal warp threads B, B extend diagonally across the `fabric in opposite directions. from one selvag'e D to the other sclvag'e D', so that the bias warp threads B and B cross each other between the adjaccnthpicks and at the top of the =ground warp" threads A, which latter pass oit-r tac weft threads C. whilethe bias warp threads l, l pass under the said weftihreads tl. as plainly indicated in Figs. 1. and il. lft will also b'e noticed that the bias warp threads B, B cross each other under thiwetft threads C, so that the ground warp threaifls, bias Warp threads and weft Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 30, 1912. serial No. 599,269.

threads are eompactlyi interwoven with each other to forni a reinforced and exceedingly strong` and durable fabric. capable of withstanding' strains in any direction. The bias warp threads B, in passing' from the selvage l) diagonally across the fabric to the selvage D, extend over the other set ot bias warp threads B: but when the bias warp threads l cxtend diagonally across the fabrie'trom the selvagge D to the selvafre D then the said bias warp threads B pass under the bias warp threads B then running' diagonally from the selvage D to the selvage D.

.ltis understood that by interweaving the warp threads B, B diagonally or zigzag across the fabric and in opposite directions to each other, vit is evi'dent that the fabric is reinforced in adiagonal direction to withstand strains in any direction, and at the saine time producing an exceedingly close and compact Weave. s

The set of `bias warp threads B or B eX- tends diagonally from .one selvage to the other for as many picks as there are bias warp threads'used in the set. l i

It is understood that the reference. in the foregoing' description to the top and bottom faces ofithc' fabric is relative to the fabric, as the latter is woven on the loom, it being understood that the `fabricxitself may`A be used with either face up.

Havind thus described my invention, I claim as neWia-nd desire to secure by Letters Patenti l" l. A woven fabric, comprising interwoven weft threads, ground warp threads, and bias warp threadsextending cliagonally-across the fabric from one salvage to the other, the bias Warp threads crossing the ground Warpv threads between successive weft threads, the said ground warp threads and bias warp threads passing the weft threads 0n opposite sides. l

3. A woven fabric, comprising,` interwoven weft threads, ground warp. threads, and sets Aot bias warp threads extending in opposite directions and crossingr each other between successive Weft.tl1reads.
